Like a bad odor, Nouri refuses to go away

Prime Minister and chief thug of Iraq Nouri al-Maliki killed 4 civilians and left eight more injured in his latest bombing of Mosul, NINA reports. Nouri's latest slaughter of civilians -- in his supposed attempt to stomp out terrorism -- comes as Michael Gregory and Larry King (Reuters) report Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistanti's Friday message was that politicians must stop "clinging to their posts, in an apparent reference" to Nouri who refuses to step aside.

Despite filling two key positions in recent weeks, Iraqi politicians
appeared no closer to naming a new prime minister or government on
Thursday, after Iraq’s Federal Supreme Court denied claims by current
Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki’s State of Law coalition that it had been
formally tasked with forming a new government. Federal Supreme Court spokesman Abdul Sattar Al-Biraqdar told Asharq Al-Awsat: “The Federal Supreme Court has not issued any decision in this regard. The State of Law coalition’s claims are not true.” “The Supreme Court has not met for two weeks and if the Court was
going to issue any decision, it would be via an official spokesperson.
These claims are part of conflicts between politicians, and have nothing
to do with the Supreme Court,” he added. Earlier this week, State of Law coalition MP Hussein Al-Maliki issued
a statement claiming that the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court had formally
tasked Prime Minister Maliki with forming a new government.

Thug Nouri and his supporters can't stop lying. And for those who will insist, "Nouri didn't lie!," yes, he did. He's prime minister of Iraq and a member of his coalition is publicly spewing lies and Nouri doesn't reject them? Nouri who appears on Iraqi television every Wednesday to attack his political rivals can't make the time to reject the lies?

In a statement issued today Mottahidoon said : " With hearts
rupturing of pain, and eyes full of blood of the terrible scene of
blowing up the shrine and mosque of the Prophet Yunus peace be upon him,
the Mosalion the whole world with them farewell a memorial combining
history, civilization and sacred values, that is what it means the
sublime edifice of Prophet Yunus peace be upon him which is located on
Talit-Tawbah / hill of repentance/ in the left side of the city of
Mosul.

‘It's a very difficult time, Mosul is empty of Christians,’ says
Father Andrzej Halemba, Middle East coordinator for Aid to the Church in
Need. ‘Two thousand years of beautiful history, where the Christians
and Muslims for centuries had helped each other, but now it’s the end of
Christianity in Mosul. It's dreadful news.’Christians
were reportedly given a choice by ISIS militants: convert to Islam, pay
an undisclosed tribute to their new rulers or be ‘put to the sword’. Up
to 30,000 elected to flee to safer Kurdish-controlled areas, mainly on
foot and often without access to fresh water. According to Father
Halemba, even more radical Sunni clerics are arriving from the Gulf
states, and they are urging militants to cut off water to Christian
villages. Appalling photos of decapitated Muslims and actual
crucifixions of Christians in ISIS controlled areas are emerging on
social media today.‘They lost everything,’ he says. ‘They lost
houses, they lost cars, they lost property, they lost money, they lost
mobiles: whatever they had.’

The most explicit condemnation came from Iyad Ameen Madani, the Secretary General for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the group representing 57 countries, and 1.4 billion Muslims. In a statement, he officially denounced the "forced deportation under the threat of execution” of Christians, calling it a "crime that cannot be tolerated.” The Secretary General also distanced Islam from the actions of the militant group known as ISIS, saying they "have nothing to do with Islam and its principles that call for justice, kindness, fairness, freedom of faith and coexistence.”

Like the rest of the world, the U.S. government appeared to have
been taken aback last month when Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, fell
to an offensive by jihadis of the Islamic State that triggered the
collapse of five Iraqi army divisions and carried the extremists to the
threshold of Baghdad.A review of the record shows, however, that the Obama administration wasn’t surprised at all.
